Who cares about that fat old joke? Who cares about that fat old joke that wasn't much to begin with? Would have been fun to watch. Povetkin was happy to and did sign the deal for the fight. His choice to pull out.
That still only makes him 50/50 doesn't it? Though it could be argued he didn't really show up either time.
Let's get it ON!!! The staredown will be great for this fight. Vitali by clean KO, late. He won't allow it to be another decision.
Since Vitali easily destroyed similar prime fighters Adamek and Solis so easily then it's fair to say Haye has zero chance. Especially after his embarrassing one sided hammering to the weaker Klitschko brother.
The same amount of times they and their fans make excuses after a bad performance :yep If Lennox thought he won so clearly why did he promise a rematch after the fight? :nut
I'm sure the British fans are really excited. I'm going to take a nap now, this whole thread makes me sleepy.
Things that need to happen for Haye to win this fight: 1) Vitali has a serious injury in the ring (heart explodes, brain aneurysm, sudden paralysis, etc.) 2) Vitali's chin turns to glass over night. 3) Vitali Gasses badly immediately after the opening bell. 4) Vitali shrinks at least 4 inches. 5) Haye goes all out and comes with a game plan that involves him throwing actual punches, whereas Vitali fires his trainer and does nothing but mild Tai Chi in preparation.
I think if only 4 and 5 happen Vitali still wins. Shrinking 4 inches still means he has a granite chin and 3x the work rate of Haye + plenty of power. If he only does Tai Chi in preperation and Haye actually throws punches it might actually be a interesting fight. 60 - 40 in Vitalis favour instead of 95 - 5 that it is now.
1) Vitali quits like he did vs Byrd after getting frustrated by missing 80% of his punches. 2) Vitali fails a drugs test either pre or post fight like he did in the Olympics and the fight is a NC. 3) Vitali gets his Glass Skin torn to shreds and the doctor has to save him from getting permanently blinded like vs Lewis. All 3 of the above have actually happened. Fact.:deal
